Mission

Established by statute in 2001 as a governmental entity of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Virginia Asian Advisory Board (“VAAB” or “Board”) serves as a formal liaison between the administration and the diverse and rapidly growing Asian American Pacific Islander (“AAPI”) communities in the Commonwealth.

Purpose

The purpose of the Virginia Asian American Advisory Board shall be to advise the Governor on ways to improve economic and cultural links between the Commonwealth and Asian nations, with a focus on the areas of commerce and trade, art and education, and general government; as well as issues affecting the Asian community in the Commonwealth.

Committees

Business & Trade

Examines the barriers to and opportunities for economic prosperity with respect to AAPI owned or focused businesses in the Commonwealth. Additionally, we explore opportunities to enhance global trade with Asian and Pacific Islander partners and attract foreign investment in the Commonwealth.

Civic Engagement

Assesses the engagement of the AAPI community within the Commonwealth in the areas of public services and programs, voter engagement, and civic participation. We explore the barriers to awareness and access, and work to improve communication between the Administration, service and program providers, and our disparate communities.

Committees

Education

Focuses on addressing the barriers to achieving a world-class education for AAPIs and all Virginians. The Asian and Pacific Islander community places high value on achieving through educational attainment across the educational spectrum; K-12, post-secondary (two and four-year), graduate and professional, as well as trade and adult studies.

Health

Delves into the varying health disparities that exist between AAPI communities and other communities in the Commonwealth. Additionally, examine how the varying social determinants of health affect the delivery of health services to our communities.
